Career
Morgan initially entered the porn industry as a means to pay off her bail and plea bargain after being arrested in 2000 for transporting over 100 pounds (45 kg) of marijuana from Mexico into the United States. Her first sex scene was in Ed Powers' Dirty Debutantes 197.
She has been featured in HBO's A Real Sex Xtra: Pornucopia – Going Down in the Valley, Katie Morgan on Sex Toys, Katie Morgan: Porn 101, Katie Morgan's Sex Tips: Questions, Anyone?, and in the HBO documentary film Katie Morgan: A Porn Star Revealed, in which she describes having chosen the surname Morgan in reference to the alcoholic beverage Captain Morgan's Rum and the first name Katie in reference to the first name of Scarlett O'Hara of Gone with the Wind. She typically would host such shows completely naked except for a pair of high heels.
Morgan has been interviewed on several FM band and Sirius Satellite Radio shows, recently on King Dude, The Mike Church Show as well as XM Satellite Radio on the Opie & Anthony Show starring Jim Norton. For several years she co-hosted The Wanker Show on adult internet radio station KSEXradio.com.
In 2008 Morgan made a guest appearance on HBO's Entourage playing herself. She made her first mainstream feature film appearance in Kevin Smith's 2008 comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. At that time, she unofficially retired from adult films. It was made official when she married a year later.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
